Care Guide
Your LIETA is handcrafted from full-grain Italian calf leather. With a little care it will look better with time — patina is part of the design.

Everyday
- Wipe dust with a soft dry cloth.
- Store in the dust bag provided — handles up, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Avoid contact with water, perfume, hand cream, oils.
- Keep light-coloured leather away from denim and dark printed paper — pigments can transfer.
Smooth calf (Chocolate · Black · Cream)
- Condition occasionally with a neutral leather balm — apply with a soft cloth, test on the base first.
- Marks: dab with a slightly damp cloth, never rub. Let it air-dry naturally.
- The leather will soften and pick up a patina with use — this is the craft, not damage.
Suede (Chocolate)
- Use only the suede brush provided in the box. Brush gently in one direction to lift the nap.
- Do not use water.
- Apply the included protector spray before first use and re-apply seasonally.
- For stubborn marks: brush firmly with the rougher side of the brush, or a clean pencil eraser.
Hardware
Buff the zip slider and end-stops occasionally with a soft cloth. Avoid jewellery cleaner — the gold-tone or palladium finish does not need it.
Lining
The Alcantara® cream microfibre interior can be wiped with a dry cloth. Avoid liquids.
The serial
Each Lungo has a unique serial inside (format L26-NNNN) — it matches the authenticity card included in the box. Keep the card for your records and for any future repair claim.
